In ancient Gays, when all was young,
And Love ana Hope were rife,
Dan Cupid fed on rustic fare,
And lived a c0nnt-y life.
He rose betimes at break of day,
And round the country harried:
UpstiTriDg hearts that were unWed,
And soothing down the married.
But then, on wider mischief bent,
he hied him to the city:
And finding much TO suit his taste,
He stayed there-more the pity.
Men built him thsre golden house,
Bedight with golden stars;
They feested him on golden grain,

Hon. Clarence PuIlen's Interesting
Lecture at City Hall Last Night.

The audience which listened to Mr.. Pull
lens lecture last evening, on the City of
Mexico, was well entertained. The lecturer
was possessed of a very large fund of infor-
nation with regard to his subject. and the
views with which he illustrated his lecture
were excellent He began by abiding to the
founding of the city, the appearance of the
Aztees, their development and ultimate DOM
nation. He described the general appear
ance of the country, many of the public
buildings and churches His views of the
street scenes were exceedingly interesting
The descriptions of the houses and home life
of the higher classes were very entertaining.
The legendary, as well as the real, was
touched upon, and many of the old tradi-
tions were related. Idols, mummies, char
coal carriers, soldiers, bull-fghters, flower
girls, vegetable vendors and liquor sellers all
came in for notice. The desire of the gen.
eral public to have its picture TAKEN" was
not only noticed in the words of the lecturer
put was most Enthusiastically evidenced by
the views taken in the streets. Many of the
views possessed great beauty aside from
their interest, some being artistically colored.
From Montezuma to Diaz, legends, events
and men were alluded to, and always happi-
ly.
IN closing, the lecturer spoke OF the natur
al traits OF the Mexicans, and prophesied a
bright future for them and their country
Taking it all in all, it is certain that those
who brayed the slush to hear Mr. Pullen
were more than repaid. The lecturer i'm
pressed his hearers as being thoroughly in
formed on his subject, and his lecture is one of
the few of its class which is not entirely de-
pendent upon the illustrations for its
value. Both lecture and views were good
and it is to be hoped that our citizens ma
